Thank you all for your participation and enthusiasm at the Concierge 1 sessions. I hope you had as much fun as I did and learned something new about CourseWork.

If you did not have a chance to attend one of the Concierge 1 sessions (and/or if you want to re-live the sessions); you can find the slides from the presentations and a downloadable video (MP4) of the session under Materials -> Concierge 1: Intro and CourseWork. You can also watch the video directly in the CourseWork site (no downloading needed) by clicking on the Session Videos link in the left column of the LCP site.
